Queer Writes Zine Launch: Notes from the Archive
Gut Level
They’s/She’s/He’s and all who are curious, you are all welcome to join us to come celebrate as we release the fifth addition of our collaborative zine featuring submissions from our queer writing community.
Spend an evening reflecting on the past, present and future where our authors will be live presenting notes from their own archives, whether it be fact or fiction, or somewhere in the middle! An evening’s taste of vulnerability if you will!
Take a bite!
Open Mic!
For those who have their own little thoughts hidden in a barrage of shopping lists and reminders, it’s time for you to read them out to a room full of strangers!
Emulating past zine launches, this evening will feature an open mic to share your private thoughts with the world! While we encourage you to stay on theme, we won’t be cutting mics and tapping clipboards. So, if you have a piece in your heart or a funny notes app scribble that needs to see the light of day.. step into the spotlight.
Free entry!
Gut Level is a members club and all guests must have an active membership.
